NAMTEC adds WELD PLANNER to its suite of simulation software for rapid analysis of welded assemblies

"We have found that WELD PLANNER is very fast and straightforward to achieve rapid results, even for large mesh densities with a high number of welds. A key attraction of this software is that the representation of the material is simplified as the analysis is based on shrinkage techniques only; no temperature-dependant material data or phase transformation data are required."
Dr. Kathryn Jackson,
Technologist, NAMTEC

“Rolls- Royce found WELD PLANNER impressive due to the time taken to perform the analysis, the quality of results produced and the flexibility it offered in the early design cycle. WELD PLANNER enabled an investigation of the fabrication route to be integrated with the thermomechanical design stages of the assembly.”
